It’s hazardous.
It brings back all the pain.
Instead of taking them away.
But I still take a sip.
It all starts with a glass of vodka.
Everyone else seems so happy.
And here I am,
All alone and lonely.
With nothing to show for my existence.
With no one to call mine.
I whine. I complain.
I should do something.
But I don’t.
I have many excuses.
I am afraid.
I am a loser.
Another sip. Another shot.
Another stab. Another cut.
It shouldn’t hurt this much.
But it does anyway.
Lovelorn, suffocating.
The only thing that keeps going is hope.
Hope for a good life, a better life.
I yearn for that one true love,
And true love’s kiss.
Which will wake me and take me
To a land far far away.
Where we will live happily ever-after.
Maybe I am delusional.
Maybe it’s all a stupid dream.
But I protect them fiercely,
like endangered species.
Then I carry on.
Plastering a smile on my face.
Like there’s nothing wrong.
And continue drinking.
